Well the last week has been MISERABLE!!!!I have been the sickest that I have ever been it started off as the flu and then went into bronchitis. After dizziness, throwing up, chills, fever, headache, body hurting all over, The cough that wont quit, sore throat, weakness and the latest addition frequent trips to the bathroom I think it may be coming to an end. No pun intended. It has been a solid week of hell. I think the meds are finally kicking in because I have started a new project today. My husband said that he knew I was really sick because I haven't stitched, punched, hooked or painted anything for a solid week. I truly did not have the energy or the want to do anything. I was tested when I went to the Dr. office for the swine flu and that was negative I suppose it was just a heck of a case of the regular flu. Oh my I would not wish this on anyone. Well enough about the creepy crud. Look at my new project. I have started making a wool tote. I thinks I am going to put a sheep on the outside pocket and I have lined it with some homespun. I will keep you posted on my progress on it. I hope everyone else is doing well.
